ABSTRACT

Bohm: At the end of the morning session we were saying that all this thought-this whole system-is even more social and cultural than it is individual. And it is necessary to go into that in order to see the whole of it, to see the essential features of it. The way we are proposing to do that is by dialogue. The word ‘dialogue’ has the root ‘dialogos’. In Greek ‘dia’ means ‘through’ and ‘logos’ means ‘the word’ or ‘the meaning’. We may picture meaning flowing between people. ‘Dia’ doesn’t mean ‘two’ but ‘through’. Therefore, many people can participate-it is between us or among us.
